Counter Strike Server with AMX-ModX and CSDM

You could create a CS server on you computer and play with your friends without paying a penny.

What you need ??

Counter Strike 1.6 (with HLDS.)

AMX-ModX module

CSDM module.

No-IP Trick (optional)

HLDS is a server for Half Life based games like CS. Normally it’s inside the root folder of Counter Strike. AMX-ModX is a mod for Counter Strike which allows some good features for multiplayer and let you make your plugins. CSDM-Counter Strike Deathmatch is a plugin of AMX-ModX.

Installing AMX-ModX :

Then Install AMX-ModX Installer any where in you HDD. Then run the installer. Follow the steps and when they show something like ,

Then select the option “Select mod directory” .When they ask for directory , navigate to the <root directory of the CS>\cstrike\. Now your done. To check your installation go to <CS root dir>\cstrike\addons\ and you’ll see two folders one would be amxmodx and you’re done with it. You can download some plug-ins for AMX from http://www.amxmodx.org/compiler.php you just have to copy them to plugin folder in AMX dir and add their name at the end of the amxmodx\configs\plugins.ini file. Add admins into amxmodx\config\users.ini

step.2: Extract the zip and copy the content to AMX folder at <CS root dir>\cstrike\addons\amxmodx\

Don’t copy the whole folder,copy the content in the CSDM folder one by one to similar folder at AMX dir. (If you’re on Windows 7 then just drag and drop everything to that folder and merge them)

step.3: You’re done 😀

Starting HLDS:

Go to CS folder and you may find “hlds.exe” start it and create an server,configure it and now you could play CS online with your friends.

Tell your IP to your friends.The IP would be written on the upper left corner of hlds.Configure your server and start the game.Best config : Freez time = 0 and Starting money = 16000$.

If you have Dynamic IP (as you will have until you pay extra for Static IP) your IP would change every single time you reconnect the internet so you need to tell different IP to your friends every time you want to play !!!

Here’s the solution, Using No-IP trick just read that article and set up a hostname. Now you got a HLDS server with a host name which is easier to remember and absolutely free.

Major TiPs:

You could start server without installing AMX or CSDM but it won’t be more fun.

First Check if you’ve extracted CSDM files in proper places if yes then check if AMX Mod X is running or not,if not then check in metamod plugins.ini there must be a path to AMX modx otherwise try to reinstall the Amx with default settings or send me a copy of plugins.ini of both Metamod and AMX MoDX i’ll try to solve your problem.
